What does everyone think of bots on Beehaw? (beehaw.org)

How do you all feel about bots?

I've seen a gpt powered summarization bot pop up recently. Do you find this useful? Do you hate this?

Do you think bots serve any useful purposes on this website or do you think we should ban all bots? Should we have a set of rules for how bots should interact - only when called, needing to explicitly call out they are a bot on their profile, etc?

I'd love to hear your thoughts

an automatic bot comment would be a band-aid

I'd kind of rather they get this as a direct message or even better a warning on the UI they interact with our site on (we cannot enforce the latter).

Yeah, I had been thinking that a better solution would be some built in Lemmy functionality - I think Reddit actually had a reminder like this on posts, but not comments - but between apps, third-party front ends, and federation with other services like Mastodon and Kbin it probably wouldn't reach the folks that would most need to be reminded of the rules of the place they're posting in.
